THE BALLOTS.

LoNGvIBw, TEX, April 10, 1887.
To the Editor of the Gazette.
1 notice in reading the prohibition" amend
ment act that in the various newspapers the
words "or printed" are left out, the sentence
reading thus: 1.-The words for the amendment
or against the amendment shall be written,
etc." If this be the text 1t will cause great
deal Of trouble and annoyance, as, Of course,
all printed ballots would he Illegal. VIII THE
GAZETTE please inform the public If she words,
! 'or printed" are in the text of the act?
W. w. WOOD.
The following is the amendment pro-
posed:
Section l. Be 1t resolved by the House of
Representatives of the State of Texas, the Sen
ate concurring, that section 90 of article Is of
the constitution be so amended as to read as
follows, to- wit:
"Sec. 20. The manufacture, sale and exchange
of intoxicating liquors, except for medical,
mechanical and scientific purposes, is hereby
prohibited in the state of Texas. The Legsla
ture shall, at the first session held after the
adoption of this amendment, enact necessary
laws to put this provision into effect"
Sec. ,. The foregoing constitutional amend
ment shall be submitted TO a vote Of the quail
fed electors of the state of Texas, at an cleo.
ton to be held for that purpose on the first
Thursday in August, 1887. At which election all
Veters faYoring said proposed amendment
shall write on their ballots the words, 'For the
amendment" and those opposed to said amend
ment shall write on their bal OTIS, against the
amendment" The Governor OF the state is
hereby dii ected to issue the necessary publica-
ton for said election under the existing cleo
ton laws of the state.
The amendment as printed above was
published in THE GAZETTE of April 2
from a printed copy forwarded to this
paper by lis Austin correspondent. We
presume the above to be the true text of
the resolution, and it says voters "shall
aor1te" on their ballots "for the amend
ment" or "sgainst the amendment" The
election laws provide that sin all cleo
tions by the people the vote shall be by
ballot, which ballot may either be writ
ten or printed, or written in part or
printed in part" It will be noted also
that the resolution concludes by directing
the Governor "to issue the necessary pub
LEGATION for said election under the exist
ing election laws OF the state"

ANOTHER MENACE TO CHICAGO.
companies begin to discuss the advisa-
bility of ceasing to write fire risks in q
city, as it is said some of the leading
companies now doing business in Chicago
contemplate. Sailors have mortal dread
of shipping on vessel that rats are seen
| to leave on the eve of putting to sea. This
is but superstition, and It is not intend
ed to institute any analogy between the
rodents that are said to be sagacious
enough to leave "sinking ship" and the
prudent, useful corporations that assure
against losses by fire, but such sign as
the insurance companies hesitating to
write risks in Chicago is well calculated
to inspire capital with degree of appre-
hension akin to that of the sailors. No
building can be SAID to be absolutely fire
proof, but they construct buildings in
| Chicago as near fre-proof as any known
to modern architectural science; the
city has fire department equal to any
in the world; there is no lack of
water and all facilities to cope with
fire and therefore fire insurance ought to
be had in Chicago as readily and as cheap
as in any city in the world. The key to
the distrust of the underwriters is found
in one sentence of letter written by the
president of fire insurance company to
| favzy
afraid that some day the socialists will
burn your city up" That tells the whole
story. The underwriters are willing to
take all the risk involved by accident.
They did not murmur years ago when
Mrs. O'Leary's famous cow was the in
nocent cause of the con1agration that
laid the Chicago of that day in ashes;
they faced the music right bravely when
8 boys Fourth of July fre-Cracker de-
stroyed property worth $3C,O00,000 in
Portland, Maine. 1t is incendiarism and
not accident the companies have to fear,
and statistics prove that they can
always cope with the ratio of acct
dental losses and come out on the
safe side. But the frebug sppals them
and they weaken when the ratio Of in
cendiarism exceeds a certain per cent.
There was an Illustration of this in Texas
not many years ago. Nearly every bust
ness man living in this state from 1872 to
! 1875 will remember the frequent confa-
grations in the city of Jefferson, once as
busy, prosperous and promising as any
| town in Texas. Fire after fire occurred
until at last the underwriters Wearied of
paying losses. Several companies with
drew from Jefferson and those that re-
manned put up rates to a figure that
would sound extrayagant if quoted row.
Chicago has suffered the elements Of dis
order ami lawIessness to grow and -four
ish within her limits until now she begins
to see the danger she has invited. The vote
polled there for the socialist (misnamed
the 'labor'') ticket last Tuesday is not
calculated to increase confidence in
the situation, and it will not be sur
prising if with threatening contingencies
always in sight, capital will begin to cur
tail It's enterprise there, first in one way
and then another, until the problem is
solved whether order can be maintained
or not. Fire insurance is part and parcel

"INNoCUoUs de5uetude" has been

latest effort OF Mrs. Augusta Evans Will

civilization be the analogue of geologic
sccretion, how tortuous is the trend
and dip of the chronological etrats,
how abrupt the overlapping OF
miths. How many 8ons divided
the totem coyote from the she-wolf OF
Romulus and Remus? Which is the primi-
tive and parent fame, the sacred fire of
Pueblo Estufas, of Greek Prytsneum, of
Roman Vests, of Persian Atish- Khu-
dahs?" This simple question is evil

SAYS the Leavenworth Times: "It is
announced that Representative Gibbs of
Texas had become convert to the pro-
lection ideas of Mr.. Randall and will act
with him during the next Congress. But
Mr.. Mills of Texas will he chairman of

Mr.. Mills would abolish the custom
house." The editor of the Times is just
from the east and has not "caught on' to
the :hilarious kaleidoscope of wild west
ern politics. He will permit THE GA
zETTE TO correct him: Mr.. Gibbs is not
8 representative from Texas, and he is
not convert to the protective ideas of
Mr.. Randall. When the congressional
plum was ripe, and dangling over his
head, Barney reached for it with all his
might, but his pole was too short. Be-
fore he could splice it, Judge Abbott had
"cooned" the tree aud c. ptured the prize.

blankets for poor people" and believes
with the Supreme court Of the United
States that "Garlf is robbery"

CHAMBRRLAIN'S RECEPTION.

The reception given to Mr.. Joseph
Chamberlain, Her Most Gracious Ma
jesty's chief fisherman, by the Merchants
Exchange Of New York, was somewhat OF
a surprise to that distinguished diplomat,
and source of considerable disappoint-
ment to his political enemies over the
water, who bsd predicted cool recep-
ton for the partyless partisan. The
speeches and letters were felieitous and
Apostle, and Mr.. Chamberiain's response
WAS cordial and guarded. President
Cleveland had the good taste to write q
brief letter, and Secretary Lamar had the
good sense to echo the Presidents senti-
ments. Chauncey M. Depew, the auto
matte, lingual aurora borealis, branched
forth into learned and lively dissertation
upon nothing In particular and everything
in general, wherein he talked much and
said little. He bombasted the dead
anarchists, excoriated the living, wished
that Secretary Lamar could induce the
Democrats to make the race on free
trade platform, and twanged the polit-
ical Tyre q couple of times to show
that it still lived. Mayor Hewitt
responded, and did not know whether
New York City was responsible for the
Chamber of Commerce or the Chamber Of
Commerce was responsible for New York.
He knew how TO drive to the hilt the gilt
tering Toledo blade of his sarcasm under
the fifth rib of his esteemed friend, Mr..
Depew, and he did it. In entertaining a
foreigner it may not be in good taste for
Us to wraDgle over our domestic affairs
in his presence, but the Chamber of Com
merce shouted, "Hear! heart" when Mr..
Chamberlain WAS speaking, and that
should make ample amends for any in
fraction Of the ordinary rules of etiquette
or transgression OF the laws Of good
breeding; it is so entirely and thoroughly
English, you know. Mr.. Chamberlain
speech was model of cautiousness and
diplomacy. He did not join very heartily
in the spirit of free trade and protection,
but promised to settle the fish question
between this country and Canada. In
fact, he stuck SO close to his fshy text
that one would think himself and
family had been immersed in fish and fish
bait for several generations past. Her
Majesty could not have sent an ADLER
man to represent her. and the gentlemen
acting for the United States will have to
be on their guard.
